Thrillers are supposed to be thrilling, aren't they? Unfortunately, the only suspense comes in the last ten minutes, which are actually quite good. Otherwise, this blase movie is quite boring, yet unintentionally hilarious at times. The premise is downright outlandish and... Full review

Yes, it was a good movie, but so what? What is the point of shooting a movie verbatim? What was added? What was told differently? If the technicolor and the different actors are the only difference then why pay your hard... Full review

Critics Reviews
| Jul 28, 1995San Francisco Chronicle
Bullock, who showed off plenty of action-sequence chops in "Speed," is listless through most of "The Net.
Irwin Winkler - who has an admirable record as a producer but a dismal one as a director - guides the story with a heavy, uncertain hand that muddies the plot and bogs down the action.

| Jul 28, 1995San Francisco Chronicle
All the same, ``The Net'' is tense and inventive.
The Net,'' Sandra Bullock's first starring role in a dramatic feature, is a strong enough suspense thriller, a high-tech version of one of those spiraling nightmares in which an innocent person is chased by assassins and wanted by the police.

| Jul 28, 1995Washington Post
After dabbling superficially in a 1990s Big Brother theme-the dangers of a society in which everyone's vital statistics are accessible and alterable-"The Net" goes for a barrage of recycled suspense tricks.
There's an amusement park scene (ripped off incompetently from "Strangers on a Train" and 250 bad imitations since), in which Bullock has to evade an assailant on a carousel.

Qwipster's Movie Reviews
making this a very boring movie very quickly
Granted, shooting to film probably wasn't affordable for the producers of this rather low budget thriller, but the one thing that could have made this bad movie tolerable would be for some nice cinematography in and around Turkey.

Austin Chronicle
No one will be dissuaded from their paranoia by The Net; in fact, the movie targets our worst suspicions.
The Net reverses that formula; recovering her original identity means returning Angela to her former mousy self, the movie's suspense derives from figuring out how wide the evil net has been cast.
